Food

The more
food you eat at altitude the better you´ll perform. Menus for this trek will be
mostly ala-carte basis in best available lodges and restaurants. However our
trekking guide will help to set out the menu (for big groups). Considering the loss of appetite on the
higher altitude, Trekking Experts
endeavors to choose food items that are testy and easiest to digest at
high-altitude.

On the trek,
Trekking Experts will use only certified and reliable lodges and restaurants
where we can find hygienic, tasty and are able to prepare good meals at extreme
conditions. We suggest you to bring your own specialized food if you so desire
such as chocolate bars, dry foods etc. We cater to different dietary
requirements and full vegetarian menus can be provided on request.

Accommodation

In Kathmandu
you will stay at deluxe hotels with luxury services depending on what kind of
services you’ve chosen. While on trek you will have best available lodges for
13 nights. These lodges are considered as tea house and will have comfortable
twin or double rooms with attached bathroom and hot and cold running water
(subject to availability). These lodges are considered as standard lodges in
the mountains (which generally do not have running hot water and use shared
washing rooms and toilets), they are never-the-less remote. All the lodges will
have private rooms (twin or double) with normal blanket, pillow, bed etc.
However Trekking Experts suggest you to bring sleeping Bag.

You should
therefore not expect the standards that can be achieved in luxury accommodation
in the city. All accommodation is arranged on a twin sharing basis. If you are
travelling by yourself you will be paired up with another single client of the
same sex. Depending on availability, single rooms can be requested at a
supplementary cost. Additional hotel nights in Kathmandu can also be arranged.

Health

Our
professional trekking guides have gone through extensive training on wilderness
medicine and high altitude evacuation. And carry extensive medical kits
combined with hyperbaric chamber (optional, can provide on request) to provide
medical care on the mountain.

Your safety and the safety of all other
trekking crew combined with trekking guides, Sherpa helpers and porters are
most important for Trekking Experts. Trekking Experts requests all the members
for a full disclosure of the medical history which will also enable our doctor
to treat you quicker and better in case of an emergency. All medical records
will remain confidential and are only shared with the Doctor and Guides.

Insurance

It is
mandatory to have good emergency evacuation insurance which will cover
evacuation by any means of transportation from high altitude. It is also highly
recommended that all member have cancellation insurance in case of an accident
prior to departure, or if the trip is cancelled due to unforeseen
circumstances.

Safety

It isn’t a
successful bid until you return home. Reaching to the final destination is one
thing, but returning safely is much more important. The mountains are always
unpredictable and accidents can happen.
Trekking Experts believes that "the main key of safety is health
and proper planning and preparation, highest comfort level during whole trip
and best quality food, high sanitation standards, reliable communications, up
to date equipments and proper coordination are all relevant to safety."
Although we cover every aspect of safety measures, the possibilities of
disappointment and fatalities due to unpredictable circumstances cannot be
ignored. All members should be aware of the fact. Trekking Experts urge all the
members to consult, take advice and follow the guidance provided by the
professional trekking guides during the course of trekking.

Communication

Except in
higher altitudes and remote areas, telecommunication in Nepal has good network
coverage. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, if you wish to buy local sim cards for
communication, you can buy either at the airport or in the market once you are
out from airport.
